Liquid vs. Solid

This week we learned all about liquids and solids. We discovered that solids hold their shapes like a block or a pencil. We learned that liquids fill the shape of their container like glue, or water. In our experiment we found that water, apple juice, lotion, and kinetic sand were all liquids. We discovered that blocks and pencils are both solids. Our discussion about kinetic sand was awesome! It had to be a liquid because we could not hold it in our hand and it changed shape on its own. We then discovered that if we just had 1 little piece of the sand it would keep its shape so, each individual piece of sand is a solid.
